    Hi My name is Anne I am 55 years old and have never been this heavy. I lost my mom 3 years ago to Alzhiemers she had it for 4 years prior and it was a long tough battle I also lost my sister-in-law that year my 34 yr old horse and my dog I guess thats what happens when you get older. Got very depressed and ended up eating. Blossomed to 225 last fall have yoyoed up and down over winter and when I started the challenge was at 202lbs. have lost 2lbs so this is motivating me. Would like to be at 145 in 2007 I was at 145 after a Jenny Craig program but I didn't have so much weight to lose back then. I'm 5'7" so 145 is my ideal weight but if I get there and can do more I will. I have 2 grown kids, 5 grandkids and a husband of 37 years. I'm an animal lover I have 2 horses ,2 goats,12 hens and 3 roosters (who need a good home as they crow all the time) a dog who goes with me everywhere 2 cats ,a parrot (cockatoo) and some tropical fish. think I got everybody. So I am busy cleaning alot thats always been my excuse for not exercising but this site has changed that. .Sorry my bio is late just found this site

    Hi Anne! I'm Corinne. I would take the roosters (and the goats) off your hands but my hubby would probably have something to say about that. So nice to meet you! Welcome!

    I forgot to mention, Gary want us to do before and after pics. It isn't too late to get your before one done. Please let me know if you want to do it either way. I already have a few of yours, so thanks for sending those already. I'm not a big fan of the camera, but it is was a huge reality check for me when I saw the pics my husband took for me on Monday. Not only that, but I want to be able to see what I have accomplished in 31 days. I think pictures can be a huge reality check, but in the same, can be very rewarding when all is said and done.

    My personal e-mail was sent in the Forum and Housekeeping message I sent to you all on Saturday. if you don't have it anymore, let me know and I'll get it to you. Thanks!

    40 up and downs at moderate pace done
    12 cups of water drank
    Below on calorie count

    Sad part is my muscles are sore for doing things they are not use to, so they are soaking up all the water. I am above my starting weight.

    To those of you having trouble with the water. It took me a year to get use to drinking this
    much. Last year I had a dietian tell me that the 8 - 8 oz of water per day was for thin people, the more you weigh the more tissue you have to hydrate. That she recommended 1 oz for every 2 lbs of weight. I weight a little less than 255 so that would be around 127 oz of water/ day.

    So what's everyone's biggest challenge when it comes to losing weight?

    For me, it's the food aspect. I use to love eating out and enjoying every weekend at a nice restaurant. Of course the calories are horrible there which is why I probably kept packing on the lbs.

    Being lazy. Though I seem to be doing well with this so far, but some people on here are so hardcore with exercise, def makes me feel lazy.

    But apart from that, def just staying under cals :( I'm a hungry person. And resisting stuff when I'm out.

    Biggest issue is salt and process, boxed foods. I am not much of a cook, most meals in my house have some form of just heat and serve type food.

    As long as you are still under your calories for the day, including eating your exercise calories back, then yes, you are under :o)
